here i am!

Alright, I shall blog so as not to disappoint those who have been visiting my site. >.<"

Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO 23RD STUDENT COUNCIL!
5th July 2008 is our 3rd anniversary since we took over the office. Had a great time! and while we were walking towards clarke quay, we saw fireworks, as if they were celebrating with us too. LOL. think too much...

Mid-year results were released just few days after my last paper which was Bio P1. The teachers marked damn fast... Was awaiting my results with trepidation, vexing over how terrible I might fare this time round. I seemed to become not as confident as before towards my studies after getting all sorts of grades for major exams, EXCEPT 'A'.
Oh man, is my 'A' ever gonna to appear???

Now I can fully understand the value of 1 mark. For 2 subjects, I'm away from the next grade by a mere 1 mark. That cost my few ranking points.
On a high note, I'm glad I've improved from Block Test. My ranking points for mid-year doubled from the Block Test, can you imagine how horrendously I'd fared for that damn Block Test. I might as well just not attempt the Block Test papers, seriously.

Am glad for Chemistry and Maths. I swear that my heart was literally racing for dunno-what when my tutor was announcing our Chem results. And a second after my result was announced, my heartbeat went back to normal. Adrenaline rush...amazing... Anyway, I was commended with sarcarsm, something which I thought I should not deserve though it's not unexpected. lolx...

By the way, 0705 top the cohort! woohoo! Indeed, besides our tutor, I felt surprised too. 'Huh?!' was my first reaction.

Time-table was revamped for Term 3. No significant difference from my previous time-table. Went home at 5pm every day, except on Tue 3.45pm. But I thought it was okay, as long as the revision programmes are useful, which I thought they were.

Life hasn't been really exciting. Well, what can I ask for in JC? Nonetheless, there had been laughters, at least.

Endure! Endure!

happiness

What defines happiness?
It's not just a state of contentment or satisfaction for your current life, nor is it just when things are good, but is when they are getting better.

Sometimes I am really a cynic, with a cynical view (duh!) that life is prolonged misery interrupted by brief moments of happiness. Till now, I can't seem to agree to disagree. Much as I desire happiness, it becomes an impossible tasks, considering the fact the there are numerous voids gradually expanding in my heart. Anyway, intense happiness is just a transient, fleeting sensation, which I thought was akin to the reaction intermediate in a multi-step reaction mechanism (learnt in Chemistry -.-) that cannot be isolated, and will cease to exist after a brief moment of time.

Sigh, with those poignant memories creeping into my mind every now and then, life seems to become an even more arduous undertaking.

Face it, life is never a bed of roses.
And I have to concede that this fact of life is indeed saddening.
